Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to our host Abofasil. He was incredibly friendly, helpful and went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable as possible and provided some very good local knowledge.
The location of the guesthouse is very good. Only a short drive to the old town. The rooms are comfortable and clean.
Would very much recommend Friday Suites and would stay again should we return to Al Ula.
The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. They also provided a fresh fruit basket in the room. The room was spacious with a couch and living room table. The bed was comfortable and I had a great sleep.
The whole house with lots of outdoor space was available to us with the owner living outside the compound. The place was very well secured and beautiful views of the mountains. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. The owner Picked us up from the airport free of charge despite insisting. The Bedouin house in the front garden was amazing and comfortable in the evening. The house was very well lit. Very near the city centre and it is recommended to have a car.
Beds were nice and cozy, enjoyed using the kettle to make tea throughout the day. Heater at night was great. WiFi available. Breakfast was nice (omelette, cheese, Dahl, bread, jams and foul) Ziad was a great host offering us coffee and dates every evening. Really nice place to stay we enjoyed been in nature it was a nice rest from the usual hotel.
Although one of the cheapest options in Alula, it is overpriced like most of the places there. It is a room with a big balcony attached run by a local host. It is very basic and simple. We appreciate the fact that the owner really cared for us even though he didn't speak English.
The place itself is very nice. Since it's outside of the city, it gives you the feeling of staying in the countryside and thus it's very quiet and peaceful. Very charming garden and various spots to hang around the house with private entry. The house is very well equipped. But what makes this place very unique is the host, Mohammed. He's an amazing man, very social, very kind and always making sure you have everything you need. Can't wait to get back and stay with Mohammed again.
